Characterization of an unglycosylated low molecular weight 1,4-β-glucan-glucanohydrolase ofTrichoderma reesei [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990
A low molecular weight endoglucanase (1,4-beta-glucan glucanohydrolase E.C.3.2.1.4) was purified to homogeneity by a two-step procedure from 7 day old culture filtrates of Trichoderma reesei. The endoglucanase was obtained by BioGel A 0.5 m gel chromatography followed by preparative PAGIF. The purified endoglucanase was homogeneous upon titration curve

Stimulation of human neutrophil phagocytosis ofCandida albicansby a β-glucan synthase inhibitor, cilofungin [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991
The effect of a lipopeptide antifungal agent, cilofungin, on serum opsonization and phagocytosis of Candida albicans yeast phase cells in human neutrophil monolayer assays was investigated. Simultaneous addition of fungicidal concentrations of cilofungin did not enhance or inhibit phagocytosis of C. albicans.

β-Glucan production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in medium with different nitrogen sources in air-lift fermentor

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2007
β-Glucan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall. The aim of this research is to explore an alternative nitrogen sources for β-glucan production. S. cerevisiae were grown in fermentation medium with different nitrogen sources. Peptone 2%, glutamic acid 0,5%, urea 0,2%, and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (

β-Glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003
The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced phagocytic activity.

DataSheet_1_New insights into β-glucan-enhanced immunity in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides by transcriptome and intestinal microbial composition.docx

, 2022
β-glucan is widely used in aquaculture due to its immunostimulatory effects, but the specific effect and potential regulatory mechanism on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) are still unclear.

Optimizing the synthesis of yeast Beta-glucan via response surface methodology for nanotechnology application

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The production of biopolymers from waste resources is a growing trend, especially in high-population countries like Egypt. Beta-glucan (β-glucan) belongs to natural polysaccharides that are derived from plant and microbial origins.

Antigen-specific response of murine immune system toward a yeast β-glucan preparation, zymosan [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1999
Zymosan, a particulate beta-glucan preparation from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows various biological activities, including anti-tumor activity. We have previously shown that soluble beta-glucan initiated anti-tumor activity was long-lived and was effective even by prophylactic treatment at 1 month prior to tumor challenge.
